No. 213 of "Incidents of War" copyright 1862 by Brady. The letterpress title on the mount is "OLD CAPITOL," [leaving out "prison."] A later photograph of the building from the same angle by Pywell, Plate 90 in Gardner's "Sketchbook," shows interesting changes. What is most charming here is the bit of street life shown in the figures.
